Summary
The first time - the day Tedesco found out - was the worst day of Aldo’s life.
He’d never run from Tedesco before. But then, he’d never been humiliated on this level before. He’d never been hard during one of their arguments before.
Had he?
But he slept now, deeply and dreamlessly, his mind no longer crowded with the guilt and shame and all-consuming fear. Somehow it seemed that a knot Aldo hadn’t known he was carrying in his chest was loosening. Someone knew his secret. And while it hurt that it was Tedesco, it hurt that Tedesco had chosen to use his secret to hurt him, it hurt a lot less than he had imagined it would. There was a sense of being fully seen, fully and finally known, that soothed parts of him that had been hurt for a long longer and a lot worse than this.
Friends, it's not canon to the book (barely canonical to the movie) - I was inspired.
TW: sexual abuse, but Aldo keeps going back for more; happy ending, I promise.Series

Summary
"English, Colin," Nate says, because he is a horrible monstrous spoilsport and possibly because he doesn't take kindly to being woken up. Colin's hands still in mid-air, in the middle of describing an arc like the bastard child of an aleph and the infinity sign. "It's late."
"Early," Colin corrects him, ruining the frozen shape with a sharp, cheerful correction, which boils down to pointing. Putting it like that would be inelegant, though.
"I just woke up," says Nate. "You woke me up. Against my will," he adds. Colin can barely see the chemical burns on his hands as he hauls himself upright, night vision or no. "Please find it in yourself to be more comprehensible."
Colin pauses and looks to an imaginary crowd by the morning-cast blue wall. For guidance, obviously. He isn't insane; they are by no means there. "We need a name," he explains.
